How Thew Are Treated in Jail.


The g.and jury gave some hard
knocks to the want Of cleanliness In the
cells at the county jail, and 1t Is report
ed to the LIGHT that when Mrs. White
WAS taken TO Jail on charge of lunacy,
Saturday, she was given an old, ragged,
dirty sack, filled with corn shucks, for p
bed, and no covering was allotted to
her. And thus she had to rest all night
Fancy, a lady taken from her comforta-
BILE home and so treated, when at the
most all that was urged against her was
that she was insane. The same authori-
ty tells the LIGHT that poor demi

ted lye, and laid awake all night crying
from painful hands caused by the action
Of the I've. All things considered, it
seems that San Antonio needs prison
philanthropist like Howard, to be

WHAT is the matter with the street
lamps? The village pays a good round
sum for the improved (O lights, and
should have the advantage of light from
every lamp for which they pay. Ere
quently on dark rainy nights, like Mon.
day night, many of the lamps are extin-
guished, and the people are left to grope
their way in darkness along the streets
We presume that the lamplighters do
the best they can with the material at
hand. Unless better and more regular
lights are furDisheds the council should
cancel their contract with the BeldeD
Co.. and go back to the old system, which
although not so gilt-edged, was more re-
liable. If council are to expend $1,000
per year for the lighting of the Streets
LET there be light"
